THE WAR 18 ST_I,I, GOING ON.
IHK LAST KPISTL.K OF DANIKL.
X Ousts Reviews His Revelations
and Asks the ?overuur to Act on
Them? He Has a Quanliy ol Am
munition in Reserve.
To tho State Board of Control:
A good hunter never gets out of am
munition. In time of war it Id not
wiee to Bhoot all your bullet?, oven at
an enemy on tho run. I do not Intend
to glvo tho dispensary conspirators a
chanco to work tho persecution dodgo
on tho public, and try and obtain tho
public sympathy, diverting public at
tention from tho serious charges 1
havo made. I havo said enough for
tho present and will suspend my " re
vel, .lions.' I havo plenty moro am
munition. In fact, I have not tired my
heavies; guns. There Is much more I
can say which would prove as interest
ing as what I have already Bald, But
f havo made serious charges against
the dispensary conspirators and have
furnished proof, it is up to thorn and
I can wait on them. If they remain
silent they plead guilty ; if thoy an
ewor, I will further prove what I havo
already charged and put some now
burd*":c on tholr shoulders. J am
ready for them ; first come, first
sorvod.
Now, lot mo briefly rovlew what 1
havo said at longth, bo as to impress tho
aaliont features upon tho publiu m nd,
for the publiu can remedy tho evils and
abuBOd I havo pointed out.
I have charged that there is a con
spiracy to get control of the dispcusary
as a political and monoy-maklng ma
chine. Tho conspirators are bound
together by self-interest. Their plans
and purposes can bo judged by their
performances. They play for high
.?.tako- and aro not all scrupulous as to
their methods. Their only excuse for
dismisbing me was obtained by doctor
ing tho minutes of tho board. That Is
a small matter for such honurablo
gentlemen. Tho surreptitious addi
tion of a few words to a resolution was
nothing to men who would reBort to
blackmail lo manufacture evldoi.ee to
Bull their purposes, ll is but a short
Btep from the lies 1 havo convicted
two members of tho board of tolling
me to perjury. Thoy solemnly pro
mised mo a hearing. Tho other mem
ber of this woll-assorted trio said ho
did not know how he would vote on my
ease until after I had a hearing, and
ho too* precious good care not to lot
me havo a hearing. Pshaw, any sensi
ble man who has kept up with the
matter knows that before tho board
mot tho majority faction had fully de
termined to depose Gommlssionoi
Douthlt and myself by hook or crook:.
Wo wore not puppete, who would bow
down to them ; icither would wo turn .
blind eyes to their questionable pro-1
ceedings and violations o. the law with
whoso ad minist ration they were charg
ed, therefore wo must be gotten rid of.
i havo shown I was guiltless of any
wrong, and that Mr. Douthlt was
never givon any chanco to defend him
self.
I ask the public to contrast our treat
ment with that accorded Webb, Black,
Bryant and Young by tho majority fac
tion. Had wo been guilty of any of
tho things they wero guilty of, how
quickly thoy would havo been used as
tho basis of our removal instead of tho
trumped-up charges to which thoy
finally resorted.
Wobb drinks on tho premises, violat
ing a special order of tho board, pla
carded throughout the building.
Black keeps him company in disre
garding that rule, and gets drunk and
disorderly. But thoy aro henchmon
of tho majority faction, and rules of
the board do not apply to such. Thoy
aro privileged to violato tho board's
rules and oven to help themselves to
the State's property as 1 have shown
Vance and Bryant did. Haaelden said
Bryant was a " G?d d?d thief and
scoundrel" and boasted that he could
Eut him in the penitentiary. If ho
ad any such power over me or Douth
lt, would ho not have used it ? Why
this leniency to Bryant? Ah, Bryant
is Robinson's friend and Haseldon
could not anger Robinson to tho point
of not voting with him. But ho bagged
both ; ho made Robinson bellove it
necessary for him to vote as Haseldon
directed to save Bryant's scalp, and he
made Bryant bellevo ho could not
escapo the yawning gates of the peni
tentiary unless he sworo against Dout
hlt and mysolf and mi:do It " hot as he
oould '"for us.
I havo not only charged Black with
drunkennoss, but I havo proved his
utter Incompetence beyond the shadow
of a doubt. He made scores of errors
which would have cost the Stato or
the dispensers heavily, had they not
been dlscovored. All of his errors
{ may not havo beon oaught. Had I
kmado ono hundredth of bin errors,
Kwhat would tho majority of the board
nave done to me ? But Blauk works
Kn with thorn, ho is one of them, and
? so thoy do.not care how incompetent he
Vis nor how much ol bis mistakes may
" rob the Stale or the dispbusers. U.ack'o
null is shown by the faot that, though
Douthlt time and again reported him
to Miles for drunkenness, Miles did not
cheok his drinking, much less suspend
him. Tho partiality thoy show their
henohmen is further instanced by the
way Elmoro Young's ignorance and in
competence for tho position of recolv
J ing olerk aro overlooked. But ho Is
^Milei's nenhew, and therefore privi
leged to de as be pleases. And when
hoVpleases to worry and annoy men
working in tho dlsponsary, throwing
water on them und paddling thorn,
they must smile, and look pleased at
receiving such marks of attention
from th? nephow of the chairman,
otherwise the chairman may do as he
did to on: w bo objected to suoh ploa
eantrlef, whom ho vUely cursed and
whose loart he threatened to out out.
But avorltism to dispensary em
ployoeiund officers who toady to It is
not iw whole extent of the majority
faotlotR favoritism. Favoritism in
tho pacing of orders for whiskey has
been (oven and is aubjoot to a much
worsef instruction than the favoritism
to emP'yoeB and overlooking their in
compftnce and violations of the
boardfc>rders. I have shown how
variola*hlskey houses succeeded in
getting) orders by employing looal
IfrgBIMf who knew nothing about tho
flg business but who had a pull
Bo majority faotlon. i havo
R>ow valuablo thobo pulle woro
?izoof theordora they obtained,
?shown how ospeclally fortunate
Hh house which got one of Hasel
Hentlful supply of cousins as ttn
H I have a! o shown that when
?thuoldon'n counlnB ceased to re
HU house, Its whlskoy seemed to
Hmte In his judgment, for he
Bdvooatlng orders for It and it
Hceaeed to get ordors.
PJJthor evidence ol the oonsplr
jflvo elted the aotlon of the ma
ration in removing, without
Hy reason, Dispensers Lynoh
Hnan and the Hlohland oounty
Oacontrol. It bltnnly further
^the ^termination of the
maj i'it.v faction to control tho dispen
-hi y from a to Izzard and QU all places
with thulr partisans, which willonahlo
thorn to wlold its full power in politics
und also manipulate tho sales of liquor
to tho advantage of firins ropresonttd
by relatives or honchmon of tho ma
jority faction.
I havo shown in tho State dispensary
how all corn Is not measured with the
samo half bushol; how ignorance, in
competonco and violations of rules are
excused in honchmon of tho majority
faction, while Douthit and 1 aro
removed, without a hearing, on
trumped up charges. Lynch, Book
man and tho Klchland board aro re
moved without ovon a chargo being
made against them. But Dispenser
Brown, at Choraw, was found short In
his accounts. Ho admitted that ho
had sold liquor on credit and not col
lected for It.
Soiling liquor on credit is a direct
violation of tho dispensary law Itself
and not u mero rule of tho board, but
tho chairman of tho Chestortield board
of control wrote horo that Brown was
a good fellow and ho wanted him rein
stated and given tlmo to pay up his
shortage, which tho board graciously
did. Is there a reason for making such
a dilToronco in the treatment of tho
two boards ? If so, what Is It ? In ono
case, a dlsponsor violating tho law
under which ho holds otfico, and from
which ho gots his living, and in the
other tho dispensers havo nevor been
accusou Ol violating anything.
Possibly follow fooling tnado tho ma
jority faction wondrous kind to tho
Chesterfield disponsor, for I have
shown that Haeefdeu bought liquor on
credit at tho Stato dispensary, thus
violating the dispensary law himself,
lie disregards tho dispensary law and
violate i it, but he had mo removed for
an alleged infraction of a doubtful rule
of the board, which is not of near so
much authority as tho law creating
the board. lie not only bought on
credit, but ho and Miles bought at the
price to dispensors and not to con
sumers, whereby tho county and town
lost their share of tho proQt of the
transactions.
I havo cited another instance of
Uaseldon's disregard of the rulos of
tho board. When Dickson res'gnod
the position of superintendent, it was a
month before hlssnccesBor was olectod.
The board ordered Haseldon and
Vance to do the work of tho superin
tendent during that time and they
even gave him extra pay a week after
Bryant took charge. He helped pass
the order about tho superintendent's
work, but that did not keop him from
violating it. The Stato lost $30 on his
account.
No wonder Hasolden did not vote to
punish Wobb for losing the Stato $112
by giving a beer diBponsury authority
to run on after tho board had ordered
hirn to close up.
I havo charged that a former com
miesioner gave a^ay -Stato property at
tho dlepeusury, hilt was Dot disciplined
by kho boHrd,
I havo charged that Hasolden nsadu
his term as chairman profitable by
charging per diem for days he was con
structively at work in Columbia, but
really attending to his business at
borne, uccording to his statement ol
his plans to the treasurer of Groonvllle
county
I have mado various othor charges
against strlkors and ox-oQlccrs of the
dispensary, but who at present aro not
charged with its management, which
last 1 particularly wish to attend to.
I havo attempted to show the people
of tho Stato what manner of men havo
control of tho dispensary. I havo ex
posed their acts, aud if those acts have
not been for the best Interests of tho
Stato, it is not my fault, for some of
them I tried my best to prevent, bo
cause I believed them wrong. My
efforts wore In vain, but that w*.s not
my fault. I am roady to assist tho
board or anybody who has the power
to sift out all tho wrong doing and
have the diRponsary law obeyed and
carried out honestly and efllclontly and
in behalf of the best Interests of tho
people, not to tho prlvato or political
Interests of tho honorable majority
faction of tho board.
'.riils brings the matter squarely up
to the attention of Governor Mc
Sweeney, who has a chance to signa
lize his administration by attempting
to purge tho board of its unworthy
me.mbe.rn, tho majority faction. The
statements I have mado are true; thoy
havo not even been contradicted, much
less controverted, and, I think, furnish
tho governor Bufllclont ground for a
request for the resignation of the men
against whom I havo mado charges.
If he Is not satisfied as to tho proof
offered, he can obtain more. Ho is the
executive head of tho government and
he should see that all its branches are
clean. If they are not, they should be
lopped off and the public will sustain
and endorse tho man who thus acts. I
have now passed the whole matter up
to tho governor and the people await
hla action. D. A. Q. Ouzts.
lIASKIiDKN KF/riJKNS THK KUIH.
He Alms Directly at Ouzts and Al
leges He Was an Kavesdroppor and
Other Things.
Mr. J. Dudley Hasolden, member of
the Stato board of control, and chair
man of the sub-committee of investiga
tion, replies as follows to the charges
made by D. A. G. Ouzts, the deposed
bookkeeper:
To the People, of South Carolina :
I have delayed a roply to tho series
of abusive tirades published in tho
dally newspapers of the Stato over the
signature of D. A. G. Ouzts until tholr
concljslon. I have been satisfied that
the people of tho Stato, who may not
know this man Ouzts, at least aro suf
fioently well acquainted with most of
the men whom he has been maligning
to defer a conclusion as to his state
ments until a further and a contradic
tory assertion should bo made. It has
given me, personally, and the others
whose fate it had been to incur his
malice, pleasuro to know that this con
?donoe has not beea unfounded.
It has been my polloy since I have
been a member of the board of control,
and it has been that of my two col
leagues, whom the X-olerk of the X
eom.nlHRlonor designates as tho major
ity faction of that body, to glvo to the
details of dispensary management the
widest publicity. Tho dispensary Is
the people's Institution, its ?manage
ment is their business, and they of
right are entitled to suoh Information
as will oonvlnoe them, and keep them
j convinced, that it is honestly and com
petently condnoted. We do not at
tempt to deny that it offers temptation
to the dishonest who mcy seoure place
and position in it, and have long re
alized that Its best safeguard and
surest protection against the thief and
the rebate-taker Is an open board meet
ing and the full glare of the public
eye Into its Innermost workings.
A realization of this fact, and of the
further fact that the best way and the
only way to purify it, rests in this
publicity, prompted the maivlty of
the board to give the faots allotted by
tho recent investigating commltteo to
the public in all their uotails, instead
of attempting to cover up and to cure
tho defects laid baro thoroin wltbln a
secret board meeting. Whether tho
facts developed warranted the sunpen
nlon of Mr. Doothlt, tbo public ean de
termine. I boliovo that tho allidavlt8
published aro a suUlelont reply to any
suggestion that tho romoval of tho
commissioner was duo to any factional
fooling in tho board. Until these affi
davits brought to light a condition of
affairs which surprised us, Mr. Dou
thlt was in hearty accord and had the
unroBorvod support of a majority of
the board of control, and would havo
it today but for theso facts. I bolievo
that he has beon given a consideration
that he does not doservo, in vlow of
them, and I am astounded that two of
my oolloaguos on tho board of control
can strive to keep him in the position
of commissioner.
Shipping Clerk Black, in calling
8omo of tho facts ollclted to our atten
tion (specific instances of mismanage
ment affecting tho efficient dlachargo
of tho position ho hold) was protectod
by tho board In thus courageously
doing his duty, and would havo beon
protected, it matters not upon whom
his charges reflocted.
But, unlike Black, so long as Outzj
held his job, bo had nothing to report
to tho board, although ho knew that
throe out of the five had recontly
voted to retain him in his place, whilo
tho othor two acquiesced because it
couldn't bo helped, and hence would
protect him ; although, like JoBophus
Woodruff, ho kept his llttlo noto book,
eavesdropping tho conversation and
taking notes of the supposed errors
and supposed dishonesty of Commis
sioner Vance, to whom ho held tho po
sition of confidential clerk. Tho facil
ity with which dates and incidents are
quoted is astonishing, and tho fact that
they were taken at all at a time when
Commissioner Vanco was befriending
biin dally, and on two occasions saved
him from dismissal, is equally estOQ*
iahing to any fairly honest man. liut
tho contemptiblo Uansey SnlPdiis, ?vho
was beguiling himself Into Mr. Vance's
confidence, knew, or thought he knew,
how to play his gamo. Ho judged
other men like unto himself, and
doubtless fondly cherished his llttlo
notj book, which was to serve him in
such good stead, to blackmail his posi
tion back again, whenover ho should
bo ousted for .either of his failings, in
competency or dishonesty. Of theso
fallings, tho former of course had long
been known to us, and tho latter we
bad good reason to suspect, but un
fortunately gave him the benefit ol tho
doubt and rotainod him as a courtesy
to a member of the board of control
who lived In tho county from which he
came, and to preserve If we could bar
mony In the board, as wo know his dis
missal would onrago two membors of
the board who wero tied to him by
bomo bund.- we were unablo to com
prehend.
That blackmail was contemplated by
him and rellod on, Is plainly shown by
tho threat, which he evon went so far
as to give to tho nowspaperB, that he
would lay baro certain lnsido history
If his suspension wero made permanent.
It will be noted by tho public that he
did not "blow off his mouth," id his
own classic language, until the board
of control had invited him to it by
making his suspension permanont?a
very good evidence that the aut horltles
thore did not fear its production.
That they, or any of the gontlemon
whom he has so maliciously maligned
and slandered had no cause to fear his
revelations will be Indisputably shown
to the public In duo season. That tho
worst that ho knows has not yet been
told by him, ad ho says, It Is easy to be
lieve, from our knowledge cf him, and
of the opportunities forstealage which
he has onjoy ed during tho six yeard he
has been connected with the dispensary,
but wo are equally certain that it will
not bo given to tho public?at least by
Ouzts. Tho public is not askod to take
our word evon for tho statement that
from inveitigations which have beon
made of tho so-called chargos of this
man, are not only absolutely groundless
but aro outrageous lies, with a thin
veneering of truth in minor particu
lars only sufficent to give thorn pla isl
blllty. A large majority of theso as
sertions must have beon known to
Ouzts to have been false when he pen
ned them, as tho public must conclude
when the facto aro glvon them. The
other statements are buttwldtlngs of
transactions gathered by this snoik
from tho desks of his fellow clerks
while their backs wore turned and In
formation sifted through a keyholo In
which Innocent pastime this saintly
ex-clerk has occasionally beon found
engaged.
If tho mombors of the board of con
trol have really troated this man with
less consideration than|he deserved in
his dismissal, as heclalms, and have at
times beon loss harsh with the short
comings of other clerks whom we bo
Ueve to bo conscientious and honest
mon?and these shortcomings wo aro
glad to say aro not greater than is
found among the employees of any
mercantile house- doing an equal busi
ness?as Ouzts claims that wo havo
done, to this estimate of his charactor
(and to this abortlvo attempted black
mail, for we all havo namos of which
we aro jealous, and thore aro some
men in the Stute who aro only too
ready to believe any assertion do; oga
tory to an officer of tho dispensary,)
and to this ..hum must he attribute tho
tact.
That many of tho daily papers of tho
Stato havo dlgnlfiod his abusive and
outrageous attack upon tho charactor
of a Dumber of gontlemon with admis
sion to their columns, makes this plain
statement to tho public noc.essary. Wero
the people of the State all acquainted
personally with tho mon whom ho has
maligned, and with Ouzts, no roply
would be made, and we doslro this fact
understood. In due time evldonoo
showing the details ot all transactions
that have been questioned that merit
a reply, will be give nto tho public.

He Hit? Ouzta In the- Kyo and Uses
Ugly I.?iiku*ko?When Will the
End dome?
Capt. Blaok, tho shipping clerk at
the State dispensary, comos back at
ex-Bookkeeper Ouzts in the following
communication:
To the Editor of The State :
Since X-Bookkeeper Ouzts has fin
ished his book of revelations, I wish to
oall the attention of tho publlo to the
following faots: I have boon con
neoted with the State dispensary as
shipping olerk slnoe May, 1808. I
served under Col. Vaooe, the commis
sioner, till May of the present year.
From the time I entered upon my
duties In May, 1898, till Col. Vance
left, In May, 1809, there was no reason
for anybody to believe or suspect any
wrong doing; everything worked
smoothly, with the exception of one
man; that was Ouzts. He was always
oreatlng trouble of some kind In every
way that ho possibly could ; ho wanted
to ruu everything : ho always disliked
me, and, for sove-\l reasons, when tho
board of control saw Qt to displace him
as shipping clerk, I wat> put in his
place; this, I have boou rollably in
formed, nearly killed him. He had a
talk at the time with sumo of the em
ployes about me, said that I was no
gontloman, etc., and that he would
hnvo rather had his salary reduced
$25 than to have lost his place as ship
ping clerk, getting, as I *am told, so
mucb a caso on certain brands of
whiskey to ship them. All of this
passed on till in January, 18U?, when
the Legislature mot ; there had to be
ono member of tho board of control
elected toBucceod now X-Oommlesioner
l 'outhit, then a member of the State
board of control. Iiis opponent was
Hon. T. C. Robinson of l'iekons, S. C,
and from what 1 bad soon of Mr.
ltobinson I thought bim tho right
man, and a hotter man than Douthit.
I wont to work for Kiblnson ; did all
that was in my power for him ; ho was
eleotod ; this added fuel to tiro with
Ouzts and others. In May of this year
Douthit was elected commissioner,
and Ouzts was as noar heaven as he
wanted to bo ; he said that ho would
have a say when Douthit got in ; this
ho has had, in the way of stealing, etc.
He at once sot about to run tho build
ing?all of tho departments. 1 found
that ho was (cvory time my back was
turned) going through my desk, look
ing at my private papers, trying lo
givo orders to my bands, etc. 1 told
my truck hands to toll mo when they
caught htm In my desk looking over
my papors, books, etc.; this they did
on many occasions. At last, a few
iin)nt.hh ago, Mr. H. S. Thomas, one of
my hands at that time, reported to me
that Ouzts had been going through
overything. I immediately wont to
tho commissioner's otlico and told
Ouzts that If I over caught him in my
offleo again?a G?d d?n thieving
scoundrel? ?examining my prlvato
papers, I would shoot tho top of bin
hoad off. 1 told him then and thero
all I know how, and tho language could
not be mistaken. 1 was so roueh with
him Capt. Webb came down from up
stairs and asked mo to stop ; l told him
l would stop as soon as Ouzts, decided
whether or not ho was going to tight.
I offered to fight him in any svay ho
wished, and, although he woighs
about 275 pounds and 1 weigh about 140
pounds, tho cowardly cur didn't dare
open his mouth.
All of theso dntos that ho has given
in the papers wore stolon from our of
liccs, but a largo majority of them are
Hos. IIa says I was drunk and disor
derly. Woll, 1 suppose ho must have
Deen a coward and badly scared whon
I cursed him for all tho low
-'s that I could, and told him that
ho was a thief.
Ouzts has taken all of the mistakes
of the dispensary und laid them at my
door; this, ho knows, la a low, coward*
iy act. 1 am free to adir.lt that 1 do
make mistakes, tho dally shipments
running from 500 to 1,500 cases, but
there aro dozens oi times when the
goods are put in the wrong stack, and
very often marked wrong at tho wires:
this is caused in a great measure by
putting new men to mark the cases,
und this Is In a groat measure due to the
fact that Ouzts was too lazy to do his
duty. Mr. Collins, at tho hist of each
month ever since I have boon con
nected with the State dispensary, had
to help Ouzts with or straighten his
books. This would make it necessary
for tho superintendent to put a new
man to do tho marking ; then, of
course, the errors would bo hea^d from
all over tho State. I have nothing
whatovor to do with tho marking, and
therefore am not responsible for errors
there.
Letters from dispensers and others
are given, and Black continues as fol
lows :
" This Is only somo as this infernal
liar knows. I have sent as many as live
cases marked wrong back to tho wlros
to bo remarked at one time. 1 admit,
as I said before, that I make mistakos,
and believe every man does ; this, how
ever, is not stealing. Wnon I make a
mistake it is my uuty to correct it,
which 1 havo always done; when a man
steals ho should not be allowed to go
at large liko this fellow Ouzts, but the
penitentiary 19 tho proper place for
such criminals."
Statements from Capt. 14. 0. Webb
and Mr. M. H. Mobloy aro piinted to
show that Ouzts also made mistakes,
and then BlaoK goes on to say tnat
Ouzts has on several occasions suut
cases of whiskey from the building ;
this he might say was Bent to him, and
no doubt some of it was, but too much
wont away. Thero la now locked up in
the desk that he worked at, at tho State
dispensary, twenty or twonty-ono bot
tles of whiskey?a regular " blind ti
ger." He Is moan enough to aay some
thing about Mr. Eurhardt getting a lit
tlo over his regular wagea In the ab
sence, of a auporlntendent, when I muat
eay ho baa on all occaalona mado, when
loft lu chargo of tho bottling depart
ment, aa good a superintendent aa over
aaw tho building; atlll Ouzts gooi North,
visits whiskey moo, and stays three
weeka and on his return draws his re
gular salary and Mr. Collins, who took
his place, 1 am Informed, only received
$15.00 for doing Ouzts' work for three
woeks. Why did ho visit for throe
wooks whiskey men at tho North? Who
p.ild for tho trip? Of course, wo all
have an Idea. Lie .-a, too, th t ail of
the. mombors, 1 I e though that he
onlv mentions t in number, havo
relatives in the in. ronaary. Suppose
that they have, If they are competent
and honest, whose business Is It but
theirs ? The faot of the matter is,
Ouzts has a nephew there himself, and
wbllo ho didn't have the power to put
him there it was his lutluence.
One of tho moat cowardly things that
I ever beard of was whon he triod to
stab Mr. Miles in tho back by alapplng
at Mr. E. I<\ Young in tho nowapapor.
Mr. Young is an orphan boy, working
hard to support hla mother and aunt,
everybody llkua him In tho building,
ho Is us true us stiol, tho right kind of
blood runs through his voins, he Is
honest and upright in ovory respect;
this is tho kind of boy Ouzts don't llku
If ho could be Inducod to steal ho would
bo an angol. Ouzts says ho is not com
petent and Bays tr at ho made lois of
mistakes ; I bellove ho dous, liko any
other man, mako some Thoro was a
shipment from Tallapoosa, Ga., that
Ouzts says was oheckod up wrong by
Mr. Young, 05 cases of empty bottleB.
Tho following will show what tho glass
company had to say about It:
Tallapoosa, Ga , Sept. 22, '00.
Stato Hoard of Coutrol, Columbia, 8. C.
Dear Sirs : Wo havo your tologram
ordorlng one oar of half pints, also

" I havo hut ono lamp by which my
feet uro guided," said Patrick lionry
on tho ovo of tho American Revolu
tion, " and that ia the lamp of experi
ence. 1 know no way of judging of tho
future but by the past "
So tho Boers cuu Bay in their issue
with England, and bo can they justify
themselves in their distrust of tho
British amity which prompts tho dia
patch of 80,uU0 troops to their horders.
Should they, relying upon tho just and
benevolent purposea.of Great Britain,
have wailed until an army more nu
merous, it ia boasted, than Wellington
over commanded could surround them
with its cordon of ateel ? That ia a
question which is answered by their
past, which itj illinium- i by ihe light of
their experience.
Tho record will show why the Doers
do not havo confidence in the respect
of Great Britain for their liberties. It
will show that the present war is but
tho culmination of a bloody feud ol gen
erations, tho product of a century of
British aggression, Time after time
tho Dutch of the Gape settlements havo
migrated from their homes, seeking in
tho desert escape from tiie rule of Eng
land, and aa often the long arm of Eng
lish power has been stretched after
them. To tho south and the east and
tho west o! them tho Briliah sei/.od
Iambi and hemmed them in, and ow
tney arc cut oil from the north an well
by Cecil Rhoden' now territory of
British South Africa. There is no be
yond. They are surrounded, and mi
gration cannot serve ugain to preserve
tbolr cherished Independence. The
purpose of England ma?e known to
them by long experience and by pres
ent menace they have no recourse ex
cept to light for tbeir liberties if tboy
wish to maintain them. Though the
chance of success be desperate It is btill
a chance, and in wuiting ihere is no
color of hope.
The first wbito settlement in South
Africa was made by the Dutch, who
planted a colony at Cape Town in 1052.
In 1(11)4 they were reinforced, as South
Carolina wus, by an Influx of French
Huguenots, exiled by '.he revocation of
theElictof Nantes. sine years later
tho little colony attempted to throw
olT the Dutch sovereignty, but England
sent a tleot to cooreo it and reestab
lished tho authority of the i'rineo of
Orange. This was done, England, how
over, rctalulng control of the country
until 1802, when Holland was given
possession. Within four yiars it was
seized again by Groat Britain and has
been a part of the empire ever since.
The Boers, disappointed in their
hopes of Independence, were restive
under Br'tish rulu and in l?.'i?, tbeir
disullection increased by the abolition
ot slavery in tho Cape Colony, they
began to migrate to the northward.
Largo numbers hold tbeir far-ins at u
sacrifice and moved beyond the Orange
river into ti o Kaffir country. Hero
they had long and exhausting CObtllotS
with tho nat vos, and a purt of them
moved custwrd , crossed too Urakon
borg mountana a nd established the In
dependent republtcof Kata),thoromain
taining themselves against tue pow
erful Zulu nation. But too tinio came
when they wore almost exhausted in
warfare with tho negro boots, and
England took that time us i> lit ono to
seize Nutul and proclaim her tovor
eiguty. This was in 1842, und the next
your the Nutal Boers migrated again.
One body wont to tho Orange Free
Stute, by that time established, and the
other proceeded farther north, to the
present Transvaal. Tho Boer republic
of Natal was extinguished and thut
country has since reinalued in British
hands.
Those Boers who had remained In
their first settlement north of iiio O.
ango river retained their independence
until 184;"), when they cume into collis
ion with tho Griquas. The British
govornor of Cupe Colony, Sir Hurry
Smith, took tho side of the negroes,
and together thej defeated the Boers.
A British resident was appointed and
In 1848 the colony was annexed by En
gland us the Orange River British sov
ereignty. I'rotorlus, a Boer leuder,
led a revolt and expelled the British,
but they returned In lorce und reestab
lished the sovereignty of tho crown.
Tho Boers wero never placated, and
tho Btato ol the country was so menac
ing thut In 1852 England deemed It
wise to withdraw and two years later
recognl/.od tho independence of tho
Orange Froo Stuto.
In 185!' PretoriU8, who hud crossed
beyond the Vual where tho Transvaal
republic waB forming, Induced Eng
land to recognize tho virtual independ
ence of tho country undor tho name
of tho Dutch Af'dcan republic. Six
years afterward ino nume was changed
to tho South African republic. The
ropubllc in 1877 was greatly weakenod
by wars with tho natives und England
took advuntago of its condition to an
nex It. This high-handed act was bit
terly rcsontod by tho Boers and in 1880
thoy revolted and I p. 18K1 thov routed
ihe British in sevoral engagements,
with tho result that tho Gladstone gov
ernment withdrew its claims und rec
ognized tho independence of the re
public. A treaty in 1884 removed tho
only remaining shadow of British suz
erainty.
Such is the record. It tolls for 100
years tho same Btory of British greed
and Boer indomitabloness. England
began with making conquest of the
colony of a foreign country undor pre
tense of restoring it to the motherland.
Ub pooplo wont out into .bo wildernoss
to maintain their lib "?ies and Eng
land followed them. Whenevor those
Dutch republics wero woakonod by
wars with tho natives England ad
vanced and annexed them, at one time
aiding tho nogro trlbos to con iuer tho
Boors and then soizing tho country us
its spoil. Tho Boers mlgrutod while
thoy could to got out of the way of
England. When thoy could no longer
migrate they fought.
Now tho two survivors of tho three
Dutch ropublics aro at tho end of their
roBOurces. They seo that England has
rcsumod hor old policy of making do
mestic trouble the excuse for annexa
tion. By tradition and lnherltanco,
thoy feel, tho English are their onem
Icb. It is a race contllct as woll as a
political ono. Experience has taught
them what tocxpect. They havo tbolr
hack) to tho wall, and they tight.
The sympathies of the world should bo
with them in this final and horolc of
fort to maintain their liberties.

BRYAN CROSSES INTO OHIO.
INVASION OF HANNA'S COUNTRY.
i '.mi'in <h iVinii Hit* Hpcechrn on Im
perialism, Trust? and tlio Gold
Standard.
Mr. Win. J. Drylin spent tho most of
hist week in Kentucky, where he made
telling speeches In 1 ohalf of tho Demo*
craoy, and then ho crossed tho river
for u three day's tour in Ohio. The
tirst pluce at winch he spoke wus
Greenville, in Darko county, and an
immense crowd was present. Mr.
John H. McLean, tho Democratic can
didate for Governor, introduced Mr.
Bryan as the unchallenged leader of
tho Democratic masses. Mr. Bryan to
avoid tho crisp morning air, put on
a skull cap, which provoked geod
uaturcd laughter, in respouso to which
ho said : " My hair Is not as much pro
tection us it used to bo. and you ou^ht
not to complain if 1 am rotting a little
bald. In 1890 they t/Jiid I was too
young to bo l'resident. Then 1 hail to
depond upon the constitution to protect
me. Now 1 can depend upon my bald
ness.
"Tho Chicago platform to which
you gavo such loyal support in 1811(5 is
still the platform of the Democratic
party and tho platform of the Ohio
Democracy again endorses that plat
form. 1 believe tho planks of that
platform are stronger today than when
they were written. 1
Mr. Bryan then entered into an
olal irate defense of tho Income tax
anti predicted a popular endorsement
of tho proposition. Be cited tha
efforts of the government to raise a re
vcuuo to conduct the Spanish war bo
cause of the decision of the supremo
court against the income tax. Lie
said the money quest'on was still un
settled ana the light would be con
tinued.
Lie treated the matter of trusts in
practically the same manner as char
acterized his Kentucky utterances.
lie claimed the Republican party
said some trusts wore bad and others
good.
"Trusts aro actually so bad," said
the speaker, " that a Republican eon*
ventio \ in this State, a convention run
by Mark Lianna, denounced them.
" Do you know the difference be
tween a good trust and a had trust ?
A good trust gives liberally to a Re
publican campaign and a had one does
not. The Republican party cannon
destroy the trusts. When the attor
ney general of the United States is
asked to intervene there comes the
Riblical injunction, 'Remember thy
Creator.' The Republican party \va:
the creator of the trusts."
Mr. Hryan denouuoed the increase
of the regular army as being called
for by the President two months bo
fore there was any war or act of hos
tility, which he construed as the basis
of a republic to that of imperialism.
" I dare the Republicans to dcfcn.l
the title by purchase of l?.U??.OUO men,"
continued Air. Bryan.
" They assert the right to be in the
Philippines by purchase and that, too,
after having paid a less price lor hu
man beings than wo pay for hogs.
" Let Cod chooso between this do
linitiou of tho declaration of indepen
dence and that which says all govern
ments derivo their just powers from
tho consent of the governed."
Mr. Bryan said that when he lirst
went to Cincinnati, in March, 1805, to
advocate tho cause of free silv.r the
tirst and foremost man to lend him as
sistance and sympathy was John R.
McLean.
" Under his guidance," continued
Mr. Bryan, " our party in this State
polled more votes prior to 1890 than
wo would have done otherwise and the
only reason wo did not carry the State
in 18U? was that there were more votes
counted than we or the law machinery
supposed to exist in the State."
At Celina tho reception was ex
tremely cordial. Mr. Bryan said in
part :
"This Is one of the States in which
an important campaign is being car
ried on this fall, and this oiecllou is
not only important because you choose
your State officer* this year, but be
cause tho verdict at the polls will be
accepted as your opinion upon the is
sues which are now before the people.
Some ono has likened government to a
corporation in which every citizen is a
stockholder, which from time to time
elects its directors. Taking that idea
of government the stockholders can
soleo*.. anew board of directors w hen
they choose, and tho directors ought
to protect tho intorosts of the stock
holders.
"Tho voter has a right to expect
tho officer to obsorvo the conditions
and promises of tho platform. The
farmer is carolul in tho selection of
tho hired man and ought to be In the
selection of tho public officers, but it
is said he allows himself to go to sleep
and never awakens until the affairs of
tho nation have run up against a stone
wall. 1 think the timo has come when
no farmer can afford to be a Republi
can. Tho farmer who supports that
oarty stands in his own light, and is
doing himself an injustico. I boliove
tho mombors of the Republican party
of an BftTllC: date had a great re
changes within the party have taken
place since then. Abraham Lincoln
in 18:VJ wrote a letter in which ho de
monstrated that ho believed in the
man lirst and tho dollar afterward.
Since thoso days tho party has placed
the dollar lirst and tho man afterward,
and if you Republicans who reverence
the name of Lincoln want to change
conditions, bring the party back to
Lincoln's standard, you must employ
an artist to draw the difference be
tween Mark Manna and Abraham Lin
coln, employ lng tho toboggan tdldo us
a background. (Applause)
" With Abraham Lincoln the man
camo first, with Mark Banna nothing
is gonulno unless tho dollar mark is
blown in tho bottle. When tho Re
publican party was organized It was
with tho idea that political convictions
woro stronger than party linos. The
vicious dollar mark was not a conside
ration then."
Mr. Bryan then discussed tho in
come tax a.id tho groonhacks with the
accompanying right to issue money,
claiming the Republican party planned
to retire tho greenbacks in favor of
?,ho national banks, wito had inoro ln
lluenco than tho common pcoplo, re
calling tho fact, as an evidence of in
consistency, that the Republican na
tional convontion of IHHH donounccd
Clovoland for demonetizing silver.
Regarding tho trusts Mr. Bryan fol
lowed his previous lino of argument,
saying that " whon the Republicans
toll you Boino of tho trusts arc bad and
sumo good, toll thorn all look alike to
you until tho l.oni sends angels to
take care of thorn, and ho has not sent
tbom yot." (Laughter.)
Ho mado a passing rrforonco to Gov.
Roosevelt's appoarance 1.. this State
In support of a larger standing army,
asked If it was for tho purposo of sc
ouring the blessings of assimilation,
and likened our Philippine policy to
the colonial policy of England in
I I ml in, suggesting that the? President
vorenco for Abraham
of iho United States- have the tltlo of
*? President of tho I'nited States and
, Emperor of tho PhllipplDOS," Queen
Victoria being recognized us tho
" queen of England and tho empress of
India."
Tho increasfcd empire and increased
army aud increased taxation is to sup
port tho theory wf Imperialism, lie
challenged the Republicans to .lofond
the policy of measuring human life by
the value of uequired territory, ilo
did not believe the American peopio
would bo willing that one human
being should bo sent to death in this
way, and lie did not believe, if every
Filipino were killed tomorrow, that
you could get Americans to go the rev'
and attempt to exist undor a tropiciy
sun.
He denouncod tho preaching t>
God had been tho instrumentality
our presence iu tho Philippines, I
asked, "When God gets ready to spi
to the American people, lie will U
somebody else than Murk llunna a
mouthpiece." Mr. Bryan did not ;
lievo we could shoot or dynamite i
civilization into the Filipinos nor lud"''
ho believe that in the f itter of ter
ritorial acquisition wo bould sink to
the low love! >l European nations,
aQlrming tl wo should not trade the
glory of a huudred years as a republic
for the doubtful glory of an empire.
" 1 am more int-rested in the prin
ciples for which 1 stand than any more
compliment you can pay nie,'' said Mr.
Bryan in conclusion. " I would rather
have a big majority for the candidates
this fall, because I want these candi
dates to win, und I shall be happy if
you telegraph nie that McLean has a
larger vote than 1 received in 1800."
(Applause.)
Mi*. Bryau in his addr058 at Van
West, O., saul :
" 1 no not fool discouraged by tho
defeat Ol IS!?<1, for 1 felt when tho K).
publicans wont into power responsibil
ity wont with them. 1 felt, if wo wcro
wrong in our position in 181)0, wo do
served to bo defeated and if wo were
right our position would he vindicated
by experience. 1 believe the last three
years have vindicated the position ta
ken in 18111)." (Applause.)
" We then said II e ^<>I<1 standard
was bad and the Republicans made
the special declaration that the gold
standard was right, that it was the
standard of civilization, and yet tho
lirst thing a Republican President did
was to send a commission to Europe to
get rid of the gold standard.
"Six months after elootlon the R >?
publicans could find notoing to justify
the gold standard. They rejoiced at
the discovery of gold in the. Klondike
and w.iy ? Because it meant more
money and hotter times, just as wo
told you in lH'.lli and as McKinley knew
In lstr,5. If tfold from the Klondike
would give us more money and hotter
times why not upon our own mints'.
Tho experiences of the past three
years on the money question puts tho
Republican party in tue attitude of
the fellow traveling in the mountains
who often met himself coming hack."
Mr. Bryan concluded his address by
denouncing trusts and the President's
Philippine policy.
At Defianoe, o., Mr. 15 -yan was i
troduoed as the next President, '.vith
reference to which he said :
" 1 only have one ambition, shared
by every citizen, and that is to leave
this government to my children hotter
than I found it. I want you to believe
me when 1 tell you that i( the victory
won by the Republicans In '00 inures
to tho good of the people, i shall re
joice with every Republican. 1 ex
pect to he here for many years. 1 ay
this for the benetit of those Republi
cans who heap criticism upon mo."
Mr. Bryan then discussed silver.
"They have been burying this ques
tion for years,' be declared) "and
they are burying it again, bat I don't
think they bury it weil. And why '.
Because no tomb is strong enough to
hold a righteous cause. (Applause.)
rhey would rather bury the question
than discuss it. I know these K pub
licans. 1 know how careful they are
of public money. I know when they ap
propriate $luu,uuo to defray the" ex
penses of the monetary conference in
Europe to get rid of the gold stan
dard, it must be a bad thing."
THE GARDEN Ol' EDEN.
A Itnili ond to Kim Through (lie Val
ley of the- liupliratea to tho Persian
Gulf.
It is said that an English synu'eate
has secured tho conceus on from tho
Sultan of Turkey to build a railroad
through the Euphrates Valley to tho
Persian Gulf. If the schein.: material
ize.;, the railroad will run through tho
reputed site of the Garden ol Eden.
Biblical scholars have reasoned that
this tract was in Mesopotamia, the dis
trict lying between the Rivers Tigris
and Euphrates, and if this is the case
the railroad will traverse it. The. pro
ject of building a railroad from Con
stantinople to the Porslan Gulf was
broaolic.1 many year-, ago by the Into
Ferdinand de Lossops, but his attemp* ,
were In vain. England and Russia
have noth tried to obtain a similar
privilege. At lust Germany received
permission to build a railroad from a
port opposite Constantinople to A ngora,
and the Anatolian railroad was the re
sult. The extension of tins railroad
from KonTah,'.irst to Bagdad and thence
to Bassora on tho L^orjiarj Gjilf. has
been a pet scheme ol Emperor WlLwUU+#>
and, according to the New York Her
ald, tho move which tho English syndi
cate is now about to undertake is a re
sult of the entente oordtalo between
the two countries.
To Great Britain it means a new and
shorter road to India, as live days may
bo saved, and to Germany it means a
new lioid for colonization and a good
feeder for a road already in Operation.
Tho lirst year the Anatolian railway
carried iflltl carloads of wheat, the se
cond year 70U carloads of cereals. Tho
railroad has done much to alter the
character of the country, to build up
towns, to open factories and bring good
European colonists to cultivate the
soli. One of the chief obstacles to the
progress of the country has been tho
shiftless Turkish inhabitants, who did
not wibli to Use modern tools and have
not sufficient ambition to try to get
rich. They will not sit in the soats In
tho railways cars, but squat on tho
floor, so that at last it was necessary to
take out the seats and leave the pas
aonger coaches almost liko cattle, cars.
Tho sparse population of the district
through which the railroad runs Is an
advautago for the new comers from
Europe, who have no dilllculty in Und
ing all the land they require.
Tho climato of the different parts of
Asia Minor and Mesopotamia la so va
